Chapter 1

The next day…

"I Need Helllllppp!" Serena screamed into her communicator. The girls had decided to not get rid of them just in case they were mistaken and their were more enemies.

"We'll be right there!" the other four girls said in unison.

In a matter of 2 minutes, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina arrived in Serena's room fully transformed thinking there was some kind of attack.

"Serena, your not transformed what's wrong?" Lita shouted.

"I have a date with Darien tonight and I don't know what to wear or do with my hair. I want this to be special so I need help," Serena whined to her friends.

"Oh, I got it. Ok, Raye you help me find an outfit for Serena. Lita you do Serena's make-up and Amy you work on her hair. We need to get going and make Sere look perfect so let's go, go, go …!" Mina explained, taking charge.

Half an hour later…

"Serena, you look gorgeous!" Mina fawned.

"I agree!" Lita, Amy, and Raye exclaimed in unison.

"Well ok, maybe you guys should go home now. Darien will be here any minute to pick me up," Serena said.

"Actually, if you don't mind we were going to take Luna to the temple so that maybe she could help us figure out the timeline for Crystal Tokyo," Amy mentioned

"Ok, sure. I may stop by after my date if Luna isn't here," Serena responded.

The girls then took Luna and Serena was picked up by Darien. They went to dinner at the nicest restaurant in town and then took a walk through the gardens as they always did.

When they got to there special bench in front of the lake Darien stopped them and they sat down.

Serena sat on the bench and then Darien got down on one knee and asked. "Listen Serena. I've wanted to ask you this for the longest time. I've sat by and waited until the perfect time and tonight I decided was the night. Serena, I love you. Your are my world. You're my life, my soul, and my heart. Before we met, no one could get me to open up my heart to them after my parents died and then came you. You put a long lasting smile back on my face and I couldn't imagine living without you. Serena what I'm trying to say is… Will you marry me?" he finally asked, holding out the ring.

With tears in her eyes, Serena replied, "Yes. Yes, I will marry you! Oh, wait until the girls hear and my parents! Oh, my parents what will they say. I know they think we shouldn't be dating right now."

"Sere, don't worry about what your parents will think about this. I know they're happy about it. I wouldn't have asked you tonight if I didn't know your parents wouldn't like it. I asked their permission to propose to you a week ago," Darien soothed.

"Oh, Dare, you think of everything don't you!" Serena exclaimed. "Ok, I need to call home and let them know I'm staying at Raye's tonight. I'm going to go over to the temple instead," Serena said.

"Ok Serena. Then I guess I'll walk you over there when you come back," Darien told her.

At the temple…

"Girls, I have something to tell you," Serena said walking into Raye's room at the temple.

"Ok Serena. Then we have some info about Crystal Tokyo for you," Lita said.

"Ok, well you all know how I had a date with Darien tonight. Well, first we went to dinner at Chet Lamoure and then we went to our special place in the park. We sat down on the bench in front of the lake and then, well, Darien asked me to marry him!" Serena exclaimed.

"Ahhh!" the girls all cooed.

"But what about you parents Serena?" Mina asked a little worried.

"I don't need to worry about them. Darien asked them a week ago if he could propose to me and they apparently said yes and are happy about it. Not that, that's a bad thing. It's just surprising," Serena answered.

"Ok, now onto the business about Crystal Tokyo," Luna said.

"Ok Serena. We figured out the time according to the old Lunar time. If I figured this right, we have about 1 year before we lay the Earth to rest for its thousand year sleep," Amy chimed in.

"Wow, it's going to happen that soon. Well, I guess at least I'll be married to Darien before that," Serena said.
